November Happenings

A couple weeks early - we were in Utah for the actual holiday - Alex, Olivia and I celebrated Thanksgiving early with my Grandma Grahyl and some cousins on that side. It was an excellent meal, and we enjoyed letting my cousin Tiffani and her three kids, Victoria, Kaitlin, and Seth, meet Olivia. I especially loved how much Seth and Kaitlin loved her feet, and Tori was great at holding her in a non-kid style :)









On November 18th we hit Olivia's 3 week birthday! No party was planned (we didn't even get her dressed for the occasion) but we did get some cute pictures. In this first one it looks like she has the pacifier holding mastered...but she is faking you out. She loves to suck for a few seconds, then as soon as she knows mom is standing up trying to do something she spits it out as far away as she can get it (masterful plotting I think) :)
She wasn't especially thrilled about this photo shoot, but I like how long this picture makes her look.


Cute baby feet!


Awkward view...but it does make her feet look HUGE!


The next day, Alex got up early with the baby and let me sleep in, and when I came out a couple hours later this is what I saw (ESPN is on the TV...)

Dad had made a little pouch just big enough for the baby, but it kept her totally warm!


On the 21st, we took Olivia to her 2nd Beaver game (no pics of the first one :( ). She also got to wear this adorable had from Aunt Kathy for the first time! I am proud to annouce that Olivia loves Beaver events (ok she slept through both games)... and is excited for the rest of basketball and gymnastics this winter!




This doesn't conclude November, because 2 days after this Olivia had her first big trip when we went to Utah for my sister Tasha's wedding!
